Message:  My late father was born in his aunt's house in Alexandra St in 1921, she was Ida Thomas who was the local primary school headmistress, my grandparents lived in Letchworth Road and my aunt Kathleen Jones in Hughes Ave, I spent lots of time in Ebbw Vale in the 1950s and 60s, I lived with my aunt for 6 months in 1958 when the trains used to go through the town centre and we went to the Plaza, sadly they are all gone now but I still have fond memories of the town.

Message:  My great grandparents Daniel & Honorah McCarthy moved to Ebbw Vale from Cork Ireland in 1868 looking for work. There were 6 children: Margaret, Mary, Nora, Timothy, Cornelius & Ellen. 20 year old Mary & 15 year old Nora left in 1887 for America never being able to return. Nora was my grandmother and it is a joy to see pictures of the town she grew up in.

Message:  Hi, I was born in the Rookery Dec 22nd 1955. I lived in Ebbw until 1999, then moved to Cardiff. My family and i moved to Texas in August 2010 - time to start a new adventure, and start a business to pay for it - hopefully. I often visited Ebbw after moving to Cardiff, but I will have to rely onmemories for some time now. As someone else mentioned on here - no matter where I live, Ebbw will always be home.

Message:  I visit Ebbw Vale regularly I love the area with its warm welcome and the smell of the history of its past. I was delighted for the communities that they had the Eisteddford in 2010 opening it up for others to see how beautiful it is and the history it holds. I am the Great Neice of a coalminer William Axford born in 1871. I'm keen to trace his history and found him last at one of the mines in Ebbw Vale. So I plan more visits to find out more about him for our family history record. We don't want him to be forgotten.
